We conduct a comparative study of the performance of a variety of spatial filtering techniques for detecting small targets against infrared terrain backgrounds. We consider parametric and nonparametric filters as well as an example of a robust estima

We consider the possibility that the family group may be a spontaneously broken continuous global symmetry. In the context of grand unification, the couplings of the associated Goldstone bosons to fermions can be sufficiently suppressed so as to sati

We consider models in which the unbroken discrete subgroup of a Peccei-Quinn symmetry may be effectively embedded in the rest of the continuous symmetry group to avoid the formation of domain walls. In this context we may gain insight into the family

We consider string theories with gauge group E 8 × E′ 8 compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds so that the unified gauge group is E 6 × E′ 8 . If the fermion content is Ninf · 27 + δ (27 + 27 ), where δ = 1 or 2, and the E 6 is broken by Wilso

We investigate the weak-coupling expansion at high temperature for relativistic quantum field theories. Boson self-energies generally acquire a non-analytic dependence on the coupling due to the infrared plasmon effect. We show how to sum loops withi

We show how the existence of a Nambu-Goldstone boson of the type recently argued for by Sikivie powerfully constrains possible models for grand unification. In particular, we show that the only models consistent with Sikivie's arguments are those in

The masses and lifetimes of very heavy weakly interacting fermions which appear in many grand unified gauge models are constrained by the requirement that their decays in the hot big bang early universe should not generate excessive entropy which wou

A grand unified model is proposed which incorporates a ''peculiar'' photon in addition to the familiar photon. The model is constructed to reconcile the possible observations of fractional charges and monopoles. One way to have the weak-mixing-angle

We consider the rules for string model building in the free fermionic formalism. Valid spin-structures on the string world-sheet correspond to automorphisms of the Lie algebra of the world-sheet supercharge. After reviewing and clarifying the model b

We present in detail a grand unified model based on SO(10) which naturally reproduces known fermion mass relations and mixing angles. It predicts m ν e ⪡ m ν μ , m ν τ , and predominant ν μ - ν τ oscillations. Several other features of the
